It started its literary operations in 2009 and has since welcomed a whopping 49 million people. In Dubai alone, Logos Hope received over 22,858 visitors.

The team from Logos Hope go above and beyond even visiting hospitals, schools, orphanages or prisons, and providing community care in the countries they dock at. The crew and staff of volunteers come from 60 different countries and work on the ship devoting years to serving on board. You can read all about what this fantastic team does here.
